Hi All, I've gotten some great insight reading this. I too was thinking of adding on a sunroom off of my Kitchen and Diningroom basically just to gain some space. I live in a split-entry type of home so my Familyroom is on the lower level. Being one of those people who like to be around the kitchen I wanted to add something off the kitchen to eat in, view tv, etc. Like a familyroom in a sense. I was thinking it would be a great selling point come time to sell because people with children would have the luxury of either familyroom to use. I am having second thoughts however. I truly do not have a great deal of money to spend right now and I have a kitchen remodel ahead of me as well as two bathrooms. I have considered just "bumping out" the one side of my diningroom to gain more space so that I may extend my kitchen in to the diningroom because both my kitchen and diningroom are small. This will not give me another familyroom of course as it would be just a bump out..not to mention it is on a totally different wall...but it will possibly allow me to at least make my kitchen larger. The back and sides of my house are not ground level and I am in the process of getting estimates for a deck off the back where I now have sliders from my diningroom to a very small deck that doesn't have steps to the yard . Holly Spring mentioned in a post this: " You could add a couple of $400 Harbor Freight 6x8 greenhouses for a lot less money and get a lot more usable "sun" space." I'm not sure what this is but it sounds interesting. Is this a bump out of sorts? I am looking to just add bump-outs to my dining room and possibly a bathroom and was wondering if anyone knew the cost of such a project. I was wondering if the Harbor Freight thing that was mentioned would do the trick and also not sure where you would purchase them. thank you all

Usually restaurants either buy stainless steel tables, or get them custom made. Locally in Vancouver, BC, there is Quest Metal works. So try looking or asking your local restaurant supply store or asking your local restaurant. Note that there are multiple grades, types and thicknesses for stainless. Get the thicker stuff (the lower the guage number, the thicker the stainless). Here is a link that might be useful: Quest Metal works.

You're right, it doesn't show on that page. I did have an IM window pop on the page (bottom right corner). Looks as if you can message an assistant in real time.
